Another First
Today we experienced a few firsts. Today was the first time I spent $60 on dance clothes, including ballet slippers. And today was our first time sitting through parent, student orientation for the Ballet West Academy. Rylan has been offered, and has accepted, a scholarship for the upcoming year at the academy. Apparently he must have turned a few heads over the last year with the workshops he was involved in. He will dance three days a week for an hour and a half...wow what a commitment for all of us. I never thought the first pair of ballet slippers I bought would be for my oldest son. Congratulations to Rylan on a fantastic opportunity. I hope he really enjoys it.

Congratulations Rylan
That's wonderful! I'm so glad, but I'm not surprised. You've been dragging him to dance since he was an embryo; it's no wonder he has a sense of rhythm and good muscle memory for steps -- plus no stage fright whatsoever. Think of how many dance teachers he's actually had for years. Now he can get the formal training and learn to do things in a polished way. Perhaps he'll even get to travel and such to perform. This will open up so many opportunities for him.
And really, sixty dollars isn't so much if you think what he's getting in return for your investment.
Oh, and it's also because he's a boy. A girl of the same age would have to be at least 3 times as good as Rylan currently is in order to merit the same scholarship.
It ain't fair, but it's true. :P
